Jozinobi Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey DanThis is a tough one.My old tte spoiler was bonded on tight, and the only way to get it off was to literally cut/snap it in half.I was pretty pissed at the bodyshop, but that was the only way.I upgraded to a glanza spoiler. One last hope is to ask Idrees as he has experience taking factory starlet spoilers off that were not bolted on.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yes mate, sounds like the wire method is the best way.Just gotta be careful of the boot lid paintwork.There must be a specific wire you can buy for this situation?Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goldenvtr Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 REMOVED...Have managed to remove it in one peice.there is 2 small bolts that are presses into the tailgate via a grommet, then the uber stock sticker stuff toyota have used.i used a peice of wire (has to be strong) to saw back and forth to remove the glue. I figued there was bolts when it wouind move over any further.Heres how the spoiler looks just after removal...Should help for future refrence:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneyboy1997 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 welding wires quite good but tbh the best stuff to use i would say is cheese wire. Its a wire that windscrean companys use to cut out windows that are bonded on. what you wanna do in the future is pop down your local rac windows ect and ask if you can have about a 2 foot peice. Rap it around a bit wood, pair of pliers ect at either end and saw at the bonder. Where strong gloves know as it will cut into your hands and be careful not to damage the tailgate paint or the spoiler its self.Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
